Business Jet Crashes on Texas Highway

A business jet plowed into a Texas highway Tuesday night, sparking chaos, flames, and a frantic rescue effort near the U.S.-Mexico border. Six people aboard the Cessna Citation Latitude — coming from Los Cabos — were caught in the fiery crash, which ended with one fatality, still unclear whether on board or on the ground. Dashcam footage captured the plane skidding, smashing into a light post, and ending up split nearly in two. Bystanders rushed to help, wielding tools to pry open the cockpit as smoke billowed. Five officers suffered smoke inhalation, but no other ground injuries were reported. Firefighters battled the blaze, using ladders to reach trapped passengers. The crash follows two other major aviation incidents in recent days — a B-52 in California and a skydiving plane in Missouri — and NetJets, the aircraft’s owner, is cooperating with authorities.
